The symptoms are the same, but could be caused by differing things. While we
did have that problem in Utah, we _shouldn't_ have it in the driver we're
working on- I suggested checking for the bus mastering being disabled to
eliminate the possibility. The disturbing thing with what we've got right
now is that register always being zero on my machine with the code- it should
accept the information implicitly. It's almost as if we're writing to
something other than the MMIO area- at least with my system setup.
I'm going to look into how the code gets that mapping we're using and how
it's supposed to be used. Gareth, any insights here would be welcome... :-)
